They were a challange to say the least, if you look through my thread theres the build on them. Basically I had to use the bottom half of the Corsa sport seats subframe, welded to the top half of the RX8 seat subframes to get it to fit and work on the runners.

Not a fan of the DTM mirrors, look a bit stubby which I don't think suits the car

I think I'll get the DTM's out the shed & flog them on, put some money in the pot and try and search for some of the Steinmetz ones

I may just have to sit on my hands and be paitent then, instead of wasting money getting them DTM mirrors smoothed or buying a different M3's or something similar

I must admit I have had similar thoughts about the standard mirrors being perfect, I just wanted to change them so it was something else I had modified on the car.

I think if it was going to be any after market ones, it would be the Steinmetz.


But I can't help but think they just look like a set of M3 mirrors


The Manta mirrors - all be it a very cool old school idea - are not my thing.

This idea of smoothing the standard mirrors though goes very well with the rest of the smoothing on the standard parts and its not something I've seen done and I can't find any pictures of it done either!
